HARARE – Zimbabwe’s President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was sworn in on Monday after winning a disputed poll, has accused outsiders of trying to sponsor mayhem during the elections.
He took the oath in front of the chief justice, and to cheers from thousands of supporters.
The BBC reported that the main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) boycotted the ceremony.
The opposition party had called for fresh elections, describing Mnangagwa’s win as a gigantic fraud.
